Chapter 411: KARA's Termination
On September 5, 2010, the South Korean variety show "Runningman" finally exceeded 20% of the ratings because of Yoo Jae-seok's betrayal factor in the water gun special, becoming the only variety show in South Korea that can compete with KBS's "Two Days and One Night". SBS is finally starting to raise its eyebrows.
On the same day, KARA, the girl group of South Korea's DSP company, ushered in the biggest crisis. KARA, which officially entered the Japanese music market in August this year, can almost be said to have surpassed Girls' Generation, the number one girl group in Korea, in popularity!
On September 5, it was reported in Japan that members Han Seung-yeon, Kang Ji-young, Jung Nike and Goo Hara proposed to their brokerage company DSPMedia on the 3rd to terminate the exclusive contract and request to interrupt the brokerage business.
Among them, Goo Hara said that "the DSP has violated our ......dignity by forcing us to unconditionally engage in acting activities that are not what we wanted," and the four members explained in a statement that they gave reasons for terminating the contract.
As soon as the news broke, major Japanese newspapers reported on KARA's termination turmoil on large pages, and the entertainment information programs of major TV stations also broadcast the latest progress of several members in a timely manner, and the late-night news program "NEWSZERO" broadcast by Japanese TV that night analyzed the background of the termination of the contract in the form of a special feature. This is also another round of Hallyu turmoil that shocked and worried fans after TVXQ's split turmoil last year.
Then the Japanese began their conjecture. Conjecture 1: The unique "slave rules" of the Korean entertainment industry? After becoming famous, he recovered a huge amount of training fees, guess 2: webtoon reveals mysteries? KARA is suspected of being forced to carry out "X reception"?
More of a point of view is the so-called "money theory", and KARA belongs to the same brokerage company as SS501, the five-member men's group that announced its disbandment last year. SS501 officially terminated its contract with DSP last year. "It is reported that SS501 eventually parted ways with DSP because of the uneven distribution of benefits. After SS501 left. KARA indirectly bore the huge financial losses they had caused to the SDP, and while the schedule became more and more breathless, the revenue did not increase accordingly, so they repeated the mistake of SS501 and tried to leave the DSP."
Soon the news spread back to South Korea, and it was immediately exposed by a related person in the Korean entertainment industry: "After KARA set off a new round of Hallyu in Japan last year, the parents of some members proposed to DSP that the rate of remuneration distribution was too unfair. Since the captain Park Gyu-ri was a 'firm faction' (on the side of the agency) from the beginning, the opinions of the parents of these members were not taken into account. Re-negotiated the issue of income with the DSP (Park Gyu-ri was also the only member who did not participate in the termination turmoil)", "All in all, like TVXQ, the split of KARA this time also started from some parents supporting their children behind their backs." Of course, these "rebellious" members do not want to quit the entertainment industry, but plan to change their brokerage companies to continue their activities.
This revelation immediately attracted the attention of the Korean media, and unfortunately, our Park Ji-ho was shot while lying down, because the media was speculating. Same as TVXQ. Behind these parents, who advocated the termination of their daughter's contract with DSP, "there are more powerful people behind the scenes, directing and controlling everything." The identity of this person is unknown, but he must be someone who is familiar with the Korean and Japanese entertainment circles."
And who is this person? Park Ji-ho, who has a criminal record, immediately became the powerful behind-the-scenes director.
It was noon on September 5, 2010. In the evening, Park Ji-ho was going to participate in the recording of RM, so Park Ji-ho was resting at home at noon, and Park Ji-ho was sitting in the living room watching TV after eating lunch at this time. After a while, Park Ji-yeon came back from outside in a hurry, and saw Park Ji-ho sitting in the living room watching TV, and immediately the little guy suddenly gave Park Ji-ho a thumbs up.
"Huh?" Park Jiho was stunned and said, "Why are you praising me, do you want to ask me to borrow money again?" "Park Ji-yeon's indiscretion is very sensitive.
"Haha!" Immediately sat down next to Park Ji-ho, Park Ji-yeon smiled and said, "What did I say?" Don't you understand? OPPA, you're really amazing, do you want to get all the girl groups into our company? ”
"Hello?" Park Ji-ho frowned, looked at Park Ji-yeon and said a little incomprehensibly, "What did you say?" When did I get a girl group? ”
Looking at Park Ji-ho's unbelievable appearance, Park Ji-yeon suddenly laughed and said, "OPPA, are you really pretending to be like it?" Then Park Ji-yeon said coquettishly: "Hey, OPPA, don't pretend to me, you must know that I am the same as you, don't you still believe me?" ”
pinched it, Park Ji-yeon's small chin, Park Ji-ho smiled and said, "It's you who are on the same page as OPPA, and OPPA also believes in you very much, but OPPA really doesn't know what you're talking about now?" “
After Park Ji-ho finished speaking, Park Ji-yeon on the side immediately said in surprise: "Ah, isn't the termination door of the KARA sisters behind the scenes done by OPPA?" No way, now every media in South Korea is insinuating that OPPA did it. Said that only a girl group excavator like OPPA could do such a thing. ”
"What?" Park Ji-ho said angrily: "What's the matter with me, I've been busy all this time, and KARA has nothing to do with me." ”
Looking at the angry Park Ji-ho, Park Ji-yeon's little head tilted, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
However, Park Ji-ho went back to call angrily, he wanted to check to see what the situation was, how the media got his head, and immediately called Yoo Jae-seok to ask what the situation was, and he didn't know if he didn't call, and as soon as he called, Park Ji-ho was even more angry.
Because Yoo Jae-seok told him that not only is the media insinuating that everything about KARA is Park Ji-ho making trouble, but also that the DSP company has sent someone to warn JH Entertainment, saying that if JH Entertainment plays tricks again, don't blame the DSP company for using the weapon of the law.
"What?" Listening to Yoo Jae-seok's words, Park Ji-ho was depressed, what is this called, he didn't do anything, and he was actually warned, and instantly Park Ji-ho showed a hideous, since they all think that they are doing it, or they will really make a move, you must know that KARA's popularity in Japan is completely more than Girls' Generation, and she has TARA's main attack on the Celestial Empire, FX mainly for overseas, and IU for South Korea. 4MINUTE Park Ji-ho wants to focus on the United States, and if KARA is brought over to attack Japan, it seems to be good.
Thinking about it, Park Ji-ho showed a wicked smile
